Final Projects: WiFi coil gun turret

[Chris Farnell] and [Michael Helms] are the brains behind this scary looking piece of machinery. It is a Coil gun, mounted on a turret, that is controlled over WiFi. If that wasn’t scary enough, they have rigged it to their iphone/ipad for remote shooting. Though it looks bulky, you can see that it is surprisingly responsive in action.

Cool! I would like to see them ramp up the power some more and be able to penetrate a denser substance. Needless to say that these guys are going to get hired by some weapons company or the government.
